About the event
Circle of Security interventions are trauma-sensitive and can play an integral part in helping your Head Start and Early Head Start center create trauma-informed care for young children, families, and Head Start workforce.
Head Start and Early Head Start programs may be interested in using Circle of Security approaches to promote resiliency for children, families, and staff within a trauma-informed care model in some of the following ways:
- To support children and families experiencing trauma by strengthening parent-child relationships as a parenting curriculum, and building resilience for young children as a mental health intervention
- To strengthen student-teacher relationships as a professional development model
- As a practice-based coaching model to increase safe, nurturing, and committed relationships in learning environments
- With reflective consultation to staff to reduce secondary traumatic stress
- To foster collegial support among teachers, staff, and administration to reduce burnout and turnover.
- To strengthen collaboration between families and teachers with a shared understanding of young children's relational needs.
